A girl dresses up as Alucard from Hellsing in order to go to an anime convention. One strange event later and she ends up in a magical pony land with powers she didn't want and no way to go back home. What's worse? She may not be the only threat.

I never knew what I had until it was gone.

The life I took advantage of, the family I took for granted, the humanity that I thought would always be there… gone, without so much as a warning. I didn't even have time to scream. One moment everything was alright and the next I was in a different place. Surrounded by beings that I had no knowledge of. Stuck in a body that wasn't my own. And no way of getting back home.

The worse thing about it was the fact that I was starting to doubt myself. The beings here— ponies they liked to call themselves— thought of me as a monster. A being of evil and cruelty. An abomination against their perfect world. And over time, I began to think they were right. I shouldn't be here. Hell, considering who I was now, I shouldn't be in my old world either.

I shouldn't even exist, and yet here I am. I cannot go home. I cannot change what I have now become. All I can do is make the best of it, and hope that one day I may find my way home.

Pleased to Meet You

It was such a nice night. Truly, Celestia had outdone herself.

The moon was full, highlighted by the clouds that drifted by and enhanced its beauty. Stars were sprinkled all across the blue plane, brightening the sacred darkness that covered this world. The constant noise that engulfed the day---the chirping birds, the roars and cries of predators, the talk and walk of the ponies nearby--- was silenced, leaving a blissful quiet. It was so rare for me to have time to be myself; so rare for me to have peace and quiet. Even the voices that constantly plagued my mind and sanity--- who yelled and screamed and pleaded in a never ending symphony of noise and rage--- had faded to a faint buzz in the back of my mind. For a brief moment, I was at peace.

So of course, it was interrupted by something annoying. Or, to be more specific, a magical blast to the face. I shifted my head to the left, and let the concentrated magic pass harmlessly over my shoulder, hitting a tree behind me. As if on cue, the voices returned, and continued to wail in my mind, screaming and pleading like always. What little sense of peace I had was gone, and I was left my usual grumpy, angry self. At the moment, the instinct that made up my new body and mind wanted to brutally murder the person who dared bother me in my time of piece. Memories and methods flashed across my mind, showing me all the wonderful ways in which I could break or kill a person, and how enjoyable it would be if I gave the annoying little insect a piece of just what it meant to anger a true vampire...

With effort, I pushed down the urges. Just because I was a monster, didn't mean I had to act like like one. Instead, I opened my eyes and looked at the direction the blast came from. A white, male unicorn with blue hair stood several yards away, covered in armor from head to toe with his glowing horn pointed straight at me. He was breathing hard, blood pumping rapidly, his heart beating at a fast rate. There was a startled look in his eyes, almost as if he was surprised I was still there. That look turned to fear as I stood up, towering above him.

In my old world, I wasn't tall. In fact, I was pretty short all things considered. Coming here had changed more than just my species, and while I was only 4"11 before, I towered above these ponies at a height of 6"10. The person who I was based off of had been pretty tall in his life after all.
